Reservoirs.

Years ago, when after having ob- served the waste of water in Arizona, We suggested that a great deal of it might be stored and saved, by dams in canyons and other places, we little thought that the first great effort to stay floods and save some of their waters would be made at Walnut Grove, in our own county. Such, how ever, is the fact, and now that the Walnut Grove dam, which is designed to hold in check sufficient water to cover many acres of ground to a great depth, is approaching completion, we hope there will be no flaw, fault or miscalculation in the.costly work. If it shall prove success, it will be, so to speak, but "the beginning of the end' " Hundreds of similar water works will be constructed in the Territory, and great areas of rich farming, pasture and mining lands will be made useful to man.
 Blake Bros, who, we believe, were the origiRators of the Walnut Grove works, will forever be spoken of as pio- neers in the dam and reservoir mode of retaining the dry portions of Ari zona.-Prescott Courier.
 Mir. Robt. McPherson and associ ates have located site for reservoir and dam in the Box Canyon above Phoenix. They calculate that dam 50 feet high will store 1000 heads of water of 100 inches each, flowing 100 days, and that dam I20 feet high will store 40O0 heads of water that will require 240 days to drain. The cost of this dam it is estimated will not be more than $l for all the farm ing lands winch it will irrigate in the Salt River and Gila valleys. Water storage is question of great impor- tance and the general Government ought to put up the money to build these reservoirs

Our last nights dispatches announce that the finding of a.nest of about 100 Apaches in the mountains southwest of Fl Pasoj reported some days since is confirmed and that two prospectors making the discovery were killed. And yet the Government drags it's slow length along regardless of the fact which was undoubtedly known both to the military and the Indian Agent if the surveillance over the Indians in San Carlos has been kept up as has been announced to the public. These savages settled down near the the bor- der line of the Territory are undoubt- edly getting themselves into position te continue their bloody raids on the people of Arizona and New Mexico as has been their custom from. time i'm memorial and the probabilities are that the people of the Territory Will yet be obliged to take the business of ridding themselves of these marauders into their own hands in a way that will "rsmove" them effectually. While the Government professes to believe that there is an intolerant and merce- nary design on the part of the people of Arizona in demanding the removal of the hostile Indians from their midst the same Government believes in send ing spring mattresses to the dear wards of the nation; believes in letting most exhorbitant contracts for'keeping their tender maws stuffed with porterhouse steak; believes in furnishing them clothes, blankets, white shirts, pipes, tobacco and four while they lie around till they get tired and then indulge Tn the pastime of, scalping the settlers
 Mercenary indeedl Could anything be more insulting to & people than this attitude of the Government toward the people of Arizona9-Phcenix Her, aid.

From our Phoenix exchanges, it seems that the people of the Salt Riv- CT valley are considerably wrought up over what they denominate a black mailing attempt on the part of some of the attorneys of that city to un- settle titles to real estate in that vi. cinity. From the facts before us we should judge they were justly indig- nant, and the severe denunciations pronounced against this deliberate at- tempt to check the prosperity of that section are none too severe Promi- nent among those who are thus aiming to check the onward progress of the community in which he lives Is one Cameron H. King, who receives sal ary of S3,500 per year from this Ter ritory as commissioner of immigration. His duties are to assist in building up the country, adding to its prosperity by inducing the homeseeker to settle upon its vaennt lands and capital to take hold, improve and develop its re sources Is he doing this, or is he not do1ng all he can to retard the progress of the country2 Is he earning his sal ary by honestly and conscienciously performing his official duties, or is he making more money by violating the spirit of his official trustl Is his con nection with this business consistent with his position as commissioner of immigration2 If he thinks so he has no conception of his official obligations and ought to be invited to step down and ont at once.

The Florence Enterprise says: Dele gate Mark A. Smith has gone to Washington to urge upon the Govern ment the necessity of removing the Apaches from Arizona. He is follow. ed by the earnest prayers of every cit izen of Arizona that his mission may be fruitful of success and that his eff orts will be closely followed by the baniShment of these foes of civilization. With . demand so just and righteous it seems as though his appeal for relief should not be made in vain.

Useful Notes.

A miners inch of water is what will flow through an aperture one inch square under head of six inches.
 Fifty miners inches equals ono GU bic foot per second. One miners inch equals nine gallons per minute.
 To ascertain gross power for raising water, multiply the number of gallons per minute by the height in feet, and divide by 20O0.
 One ton of good coal or its equiva- lent in other fuel, will raise 5000, 900 gallons of water 20 feet high.
 5,000,OO0 gallons will cover 100 acres ? inches deep, or is equal to one inch of water on 250 acres.
 The speed of centrifugal pump is found by multiplying the square root of the head in feet by 500 and adding $50. This gives the speed of the run ner in feet per minute at the periph- cry.

The Pima Indians select several promising youth of their tribe from time to time for repositories of their traditions, Judge J. D. Walker says, and they are carefully instructed in the historical legends pertaining to their tribe, being required to commit them faithfully to memory. They in turn instruct their successors and thus preserve the traditions in the exact language recited by their ancestors of many years ago. They have knowledge of the tribe that built the old Casa Grande and other vast buildings whose ruins now excite such interest and curiosity. The descendants of this tribe now live in Sonora, and from them it may be possible to learn much of the civilization that once prevailed along the Gila river.-Enterprise.

The Indians on the San Carlos are said to be sullen and impudent and re fuse to work. They leave the reser vation and return at will. This In dian problem seems to be nut which the government is unable to crack. Better send them to Florida or some place else, and let the van be led by the old, broken down political hag' and moss-baek, impecunious hangers on, through whose mismanagement much of the Indian troubles in Arizo ma and elsewhere have resulted.

Climate.

In our issue of two weeks ago, we referred to the climate of Yuma, its healthfulness, its lack of that sultry oppressiveness in summer which has always been attributed to it, and its mild, invigorating winter temperature which is eventually to give it world wide popularity as winter resort for the thousands who wish to escape the rigorous cold of the east and the damp, rainy season of other parts of the Pa citic coast. But there are other fea- lures of Yuma's climate which are beginning to attract marked attention. "I am not looking for saaitarium nor a summer resort" remarked a we'll known prominent and successful Cali fornia fruit grower to us recently, "but I want 8 climate that will accomplish for me certain results, and 1 am con- vinced that this climate fills the bill. Y"
 In climate uch as this the pro- auctions of the soil reach the highest state of perfection. It is also under such conditions of temperature as is here found that the greatest variety of products grow luxuriantly, and it is this a'iety of soil products that fur nish the surest foundation for lasting prosperity. If one section of country boasts of it's extensive alfalfa fields which feed hundreds of cattle, and an- other of its corn, wheat and barley fields; another of its sugar cane, its cotton, tobacco and hemp, and another of its oranges, lemons, lines and Jus cious deciduous fruits, Yuma county, with her abundance of water utilized, can boast of all these, which flourish at home beneath our genial, semi-trop- ic skies. Not only do all these useful and profitable products grow in all their luxuriance here, but they grow with remarkable rapidity and mature early, a feature which is attracting no little attention to this portion of country, and 6 feature to which the gentleman quoted above, specially re- ferred. Furnishing the earliest fruits to the markets of the east and the Pa citic coast, the fruit-raiser will possess 8 bonanza. The mild winters special ly favor the stock raiser, who can fur nish the winter markets with fat beeves at fancy prices and at little expense. Fuel is abundant for operating facto- ries for the manufacture of the prod ucts of our hemp, cotton, fax and to- 5acco plantations. The product of our wheat fields, bright and golden, brings the highest price in the market, and the time is not far distant when immense milling establishments will necessarily be called into requisition to add their quota to the general pros perity. Under the influence of a eli mate such as Yuma possesses the great est success is attainable iu fruit rais- ing, general farming ard stock raising

ARTISTS and Archeologists will be GLAD
to learn that pictures are to be made OF
the colored statues that were dug up not
not long ago at the foot of the Acropolis
at Athens. The statues are of marble
about four feet high and are generally
we'll preserved. They represent the old
Greek deities, particularly Athene, the
the guardian goddess of the city. They
belong to a period abuot 500 B. O., and
were placed in the ancient temple Athens
which was burned when the Anthem, ans
under Themistocles left Athens at the
time of the Persian invasion. The col
oring of the statues vanishes with ex
posure to the air, but good copies have
been made by a Swiss artist, Emil Gileron
who was employed by Russell Sturgis, OF
New York. Mr.. Sturgis will have Gill
eron's drawings reproduced in the Jour
nal Of Archaeology. The statues are SAID
to settle many vexed questions in regard
to Greek art and archaeology.

AN important change is to take place
this winter in the ore carrying business
from the Lake Superior iron regions
Ore shipments have been made hitherto
by water, because it was cheaper. The
result has been that during the summer
there has often been glut of ore al
Cleveland, Erie, Ashtabula and other
ports, where the ore is loaded before 1t If
shipped to the furnaces, and during the
winter there have been times of scarcity
It has been found that by using large cars
ore can be hauled by rail direct from the
mines to the furnaces, at only slight ad
vance over the rates by water, and several
mines are arranging to do this the com
ing winter.
